 From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/discreet

	in conduct and especially in speech : prudent;
	especially : capable of preserving prudent silence
	2: unpretentious, modest <the warmth and discreet
	elegance of a civilized home — Joseph Wechsberg>
	3: unobtrusive, unnoticeable <followed at a discreet
	distance>
